"Paper Pins." Obtained from Misses Mary and Pauline Franklin, Cross-nore, Avery County, North Carolina, July 11, 1929.
Boy I'll give to you a paper of pins And that's the way our love begins, If you will marry me, oh, me, If you will marry me.
Girl I won't accept the paper of pins, If that's the way our love begins And 1 won't marry you, oh, you, And I won't marry you.
Boy I'll give to you a little puppy dog, To take with you when you go abroad, If you will marry me, oh, me, If you will marry me.
Girl I won't accept the little puppy dog, To take with me when I go abroad And I won't marry you, oh, you, And I won't marry you. |
